I have had bronchiectasis for 64 years, I recently saw a respiratory physiotherapist, the first one since I was a child. She was very helpful and went through the active breathing excerises to clear lungs, but also suggested a salt pipe. I wondered if anyone here has tried one and was it any good. I have ordered one and will give it a go but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

      Will do. I think it's probably easier to cope with if you've never known any different.
